Permanent Jewelry FAQs
Permanent Jewelry FAQs ✨
New to permanent jewelry? Here are simple answers about how it works, appointments, materials, care, removal, parties, and more.
Permanent Jewelry Basics
Start here if you've never had permanent jewelry before.
What is permanent jewelry?
Permanent jewelry is a bracelet, anklet, or other chain made without a clasp.
We size the chain to fit you, connect the ends, and use a tiny jewelry welder to close the connecting ring.
Then you can wear it every day without taking it on and off.
Does permanent jewelry hurt?
Nope. The welder does not touch your skin.
You'll see a quick flash when we close the ring, but most people don't feel anything at all.
How long does it take?
It's quick!
Most of the fun is choosing your chain and getting the fit just right. The actual weld only takes a moment.
Is permanent jewelry really permanent?
It stays on because there is no clasp, but you can still remove it when you need to.
It isn't meant to be impossible to take off.
Can I take my permanent bracelet off?
Yes.
Carefully cut the small connecting ring with small scissors or wire cutters.

Which permanent jewelry metal should I choose?

When you visit, we'll show you the options and help you pick one that works for you.
Water, Tarnish & Everyday Wear
Can I shower with permanent jewelry?
Yes. Our permanent jewelry chains are chosen for everyday wear.
How each piece holds up over time can depend on the metal you choose and how you wear it.
Can I swim with permanent jewelry?
Many of our chains handle water well, but chlorine and salt water can be harder on some metals and finishes.
If you swim often, ask us which chain is the best fit for your lifestyle.
Will permanent jewelry tarnish?
It depends on the metal.
Solid gold is highly resistant to tarnish. Gold filled, sterling silver, and stainless steel each wear differently over time.
We'll help you understand the differences before you choose your chain.
Can I work out with permanent jewelry?
Yes. Permanent jewelry is made to fit into normal everyday life, including workouts.
If Something Happens
What happens if my permanent bracelet breaks?
Don't worry. Save the chain and bring it back to us.
If the weld opens within 60 days, we'll re-weld it for free.
If the chain itself breaks, we'll take a look and let you know what options are available.
Can you reconnect a bracelet I removed?
Usually, yes.
Save your chain and bring it back to Pretty Pickie. If it can be reused, we can reconnect it for you.
Re-welding is $15.
